“You’re going to see all new broadcast presentation, literally the game recreated just like you see it on TV.All new collision engine in game, which is a huge win.Basically contact doesn’tstart until you actually touch which removes a lot of the suction which a lot of our gamers have complained about. Also, a new big feature which we just announced…online communities.”

Millions play…and football great Herschel Walker thinks it actually helps them gain a better understanding of the game…

“You know one thing that we’ve gotten away from a lot is fundamentals and in the Madden game you get back to the fundamentals and catching the ball, the proper way of catching and different things.And that is amazing how the game is so much advanced today where it looks just like it’s live.”
